# تجديد الاستمارة — Saudi Arabia istimara renewal fee

Source page: https://valem.run/calculators/saudi-arabia/car-tax

Saudi car registration (istimara) renewal costs the renewal fee plus the MVPI inspection plus mandatory insurance.

**Tax year:** 2026

## How it is calculated

Saudi Arabia has no annual car tax; vehicles renew their istimara (registration) each year. The cost is the renewal fee plus the MVPI technical inspection.

Mandatory motor insurance is required alongside, and an expired registration incurs penalties. Estimate, not legal advice.

## Worked example

With Mandatory insurance of 0 SAR, this model computes Renewal total of 450 SAR.
